Prime Minister Narendra Modi will interact with the Chief Ministers of all the states via video conferencing this evening to discuss the West Asia conflict, focusing on reviewing state preparedness and plans. The source said that the meeting will emphasize coordinated efforts in the spirit of "Team India". However, the Chief Ministers of states holding elections will not be part of this meeting due to the Model Code of Conduct.
Earlier, Prime Minister Modi had made a statement in both Houses of Parliament regarding the ongoing conflict in West Asia, explaining India's position on the issue. Mr. Modi had stated that the government is ensuring smooth supplies of petrol, diesel, oil, gas, and fertilizers. He had informed the House that India has expanded its energy import sources from 27 countries to 41 countries over the past 11 years, thereby reducing dependence on any single region.
